Summary of How Not to Die - Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease — A Comprehensive Summary

CHAPTER 1: NOT DYING FROM HEART DISEASE

The first chapter of the book is about how not to die from heart disease. Here the author explains one of the most common misconceptions about heart disease. Many people think that heart disease is something as inevitable as old age. However, that is not so true. The author examined the results of studies by Western doctors and experts from Sub-Saharan Africa and came to a radically different conclusion. The doctors in Africa discovered that heart disease practically does not exist in that part of the world. Regardless of the fact that Africa’s medical possibilities are on a lower level than those in America, heart disease practically does not exist there.

According to immigration studies, this is not due to genetic reasons. The same thing is discovered in a famous China-Cornell-Oxford Project (or the China Study). What causes the absence of heart conditions and diseases connected with heart and cardiovascular systems is only one thing—diet. After this, the author explains the most common causes for heart diseases. He states that there are three main sources of LDL cholesterol, which then cause medical problems. These are trans-fat, saturated fat and dietary cholesterol. Moreover, the author suggests that if someone wants to be safe from the risk of a heart attack, one should aim for an LDL cholesterol level that is below 70 mg/dl.
